interesting-I'd love to know the source-seems unusual to split the minyan

I recall that at least once R. A. Miller had me pass a note that he wrote
to a chosson telling him to leave the shul so the minyan could say
tachanun. I am told that Rav Schwab also used to send a chosson out
so the shul could say tachanun.<br><br>
